iOS Shazam Shortcut (self.Blind)
submitted by Broken_Peepers
Hi, folks. I have created an iOS shortcut, using the Shortcuts app, if anyone is interested. When activated, the shortcut will identify a song using Shazam, display the title and artist, and then ask if you would like to add the song to your library. It makes it easier to add songs you have identified right away, instead of going to music and searching for it later. The default is to add the song directly to your main library, but can be modified to add the song to a specific playlist. Edit: I have added an option to show the album that the song is from in the Music app. Works best if you are subscribed to Apple Music.

This is actually pretty cool. Is it possible to have it add the song to a Spotify playlist?

I too would be using this all the time and would be indebted if you are able to invent this

I think so, but I'm not for sure if Spotify has Shortcuts support. I'll investigate though, and make another Shortcut if it does.

If you can, I'd be indebted. I would use that all the time.

So far in my research, someone has created a shortcut that will add a track to a Spotify playlist. However, it is a complicated setup, and I have reached out to the creator for some advice. iOS 14 is suppose to gain more support for 3rd party music apps. So hopefully once iOS 14 is released, there will be better Shortcut support to make it easier.

Thanks for looking into it. Definitely excited for the increased third party support coming soon.
